Putin's not even fooling his own people anymore. Eventually some of his fans here will wake up.

“Russian public opinion, in fact, does not support the idea of invasion: the latest polls by the Moscow Public Opinion Foundation showed that only 5 per cent of Russians want the regular army to fight in Ukraine. But not many Russian citizens are ready to demonstrate against the war.”

Putin has learned how to lie well from obama, the LIAR in chief. I’m rather surprised putin hasn’t blamed his invasion on Bush.

Indirectly, I think he has. I've read he was upset and felt threatened by NATO's continued expansion eastward after the breakup of the old USSR.

IMHO he is just biding his time and waiting for Winter. He can then go without Euros longer than Europeans can go without heat, and everyone knows that. So the EU will get their gas when he gets the Ukraine.

If Barack won’t call it an invasion it must not be an invasion! Period!

Not going to happen. Malignant putinism is incurable. The only treatment is routinely administered by Ukrainian forces, but they are running out of the medicine.

In Russia and America, the will of the people is irrelevant. The government will do as it damn well pleases and it’s up to the propagandists to sell it. Here, that’s the mission of the MSM.

Russia acts like our own politicians. The difference is that Russia is being belligerent against a foreign nation and out politicians are being belligerent against the People.

today one of my movement's activists Dmitry Monakhov went out to the Kremlin's walls to demand Putin stop his war in Ukraine. Police violently grabbed him and now Monakhov is facing a psychiatric exam. Any anti-war protester could either end up behind bars or in a psychiatric clinic, " Chirkova said

Good grief, it's not as if they were Tea Partiers or something.

Like so many of these threads, if the posters don’t want to openly defend the new Soviet Putin, then they turn the thread into an anti-America thread, or anti-Obama thread as an indirect way of diluting or sidetracking criticism of the Russian goals they support.

You’re absolutely right. And by damning America, as if they were from the Reverend Wright’s church, these Putinistas show they’re more loyal to Putin than they are to the USA or to conservative values. I’m surprised they’re still allowed to be here, but that’s up to Jim.

I’m sure the dictator in Russia appreciates you clearing up the moral differences for them.

Former KGB Putin is a lifelong liar.

Historically it was the American left media and politicians that learned to lie from the KGB, and not the other way around.

Russia loses Euros by not supplying Europe with heat.

It's a two-way street.

You said: “...IMHO he is just biding his time and waiting for Winter. He can then go without Euros longer than Europeans can go without heat, and everyone knows that. So the EU will get their gas when he gets the Ukraine...”

This is the point. I rather would send our European troops into the western Ukraine if they block the pipelines than defending their formal property in eastern Ukraine against the majority of the people (who are Russians) living there.

Regards from Europe
